I will be going to Temple for clinical psychology PhD this fall. The admission process for the clinical psychology program differs from the processes within other PhD programs at the university, so it might not mean much that I know already. Hope you find out soon. Gooc luck!

I know that Fairleigh Dickinson's program is PhD in clinical while Ferkauf at Yeshiva is PsyD. I think that rather than focusing on U.S. News rankings, you should ask yourself which kind of degree do you want to end up with in the end (and why) and how much it would cost you to get it. I don't know about the funding at Ferkauf, but I know that Fairleigh offers about 50% tuition remission per year and some assistantships that you would need to use to cover the remaining tuition fees. I hope this helps. If rankings are important to you, there are a couple of places you can look. The Student Doctor Network Forums for Clinical Psychology is a very active online community that has a lot of discussions about various issues including rankings, PhD vs PsyD etc: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forumdisplay.php?f=57 There is another forum that has a list of U.S. News rankings from 2004, but neither schools are listed. This forum is not as active: http://www.alleydog.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=805 Finally, this social psychology website has a lot of different clinical psychology rankings: http://www.socialpsychology.org/ranking.htm Good luck!

Generally, the east coast cities like Philadelphia, Boston, NYC, and Washington have pretty good public transportation and are easy to get around without having access to a car. Philadelphia is very walkable.

This is starting to resemble a personal blog :wink:

I just recevied an invitation for an interview!

Wow - 15 days ! That's quite a trip, especially if you'll be traveling coast to coast. I hope you have been lucky with the coordination of dates and places. Good luck!

I have attended two interviews, and I am waiting anxiously to hear about the outcome. I have another interview next week, and I am hoping that I will receive some more invitations. However, time seems to be running out...

I'm applying to clinical. It's been a pretty stressful experience :shock:

Has any other psych people discovered this place yet?
